SCIENCE IS EVIL! FEAR CHANGE! TECHNOLOGY WILL DOOM US ALL! Man, I'm really getting tired of all this sci-fi doom-saying. Doesn't anyone remember Star Trek and the idea of a hopeful future based on technological advancement? If everyone thinks we should go back to eating raw meat and living in mud houses, they can do that. I'll take the future of robots, nanomachines, genetics-based cures for all diseases, and intergalactic travel, thank you very much.

the weird thing is if you go on Wikipedia and look up H+ you will find a nice look page of which I am assume this movie is based solely on anyway "Humanity+ is an international organization which advocates the ethical use of emerging technologies to enhance human capacities." (In other words trans-humanism)

I can't wait!!

I think you might be misinterpreting the conflict. I didn't see any robots marching or skynets going online. What's seen in this trailer is how men create and interact with technology, and the potential for harm when dependencies get out of balance. Einstein wrote about this. It may be worth more than an easy to consume, cursory wedge comment.

When is it supposed to come out?

Star Trek? They live in a futuristic utopia

So it's like the Matrix meets I Am Legend meets Ultraviolet?

No-one ever went to see a movie where everyone was happy and nothing went wrong and I doubt they ever will. The more interesting thing is that it's Warner Bros and Bryan Singer, taking the web seriously as a media channel, and putting what looks like a chunk of money into this. If this series is a big enough success it could be a watershed moment for web-based entertainment. The quality bar just got raised pretty high - no more cat videos!

Well said. I struggle to find "optimistic" sci-fi myself. There's an anthology of short stories called "Shine," compiled by Jetse de Vries that Solaris put out a year or two ago. It is supposed to challenge the usual dystopian views of the future with ideas that we will get it right and have a firm handle on our science. I've read a few of them and their well-written, though they still imply a sort of "dark age" to get through. It's worth checking out anyway.

My big problem is that really aren't any "pro-science" movies coming out. Yes, science fiction has always been a way to comment on the potential implications of new technologies and discoveries, but every movie I see these days seems to be built around the "science has gone too far!" angle. I'd like to see the other side of the coin. Also, thalidomide was a failed experiment, like radium supplements. It didn't actually work, so I wouldn't classify it as an "advancement".
